City, Norwalk Public Schools Issue Snow Parking Reminder

NORWALK, CT — As a major snowstorm continues to impact the state Sunday into Monday morning, the city and Norwalk Public Schools have issued a snow parking reminder.

In a Facebook post Sunday afternoon as snow started to hit the region, the district urged residents not to park overnight in school parking lots.

According to the district, vehicles left in school lots prevent the city's Department of Public Works from clearing the snow and properly treating the lot, which can cause delays or disrupt school operations the following day.

Vehicles that block snow removal may be towed, district officials noted.

"Thank you for your cooperation in keeping everyone safe and the schools running smoothly," district officials wrote on Facebook.

The district's post was shared by the city Monday morning as a major winter storm continues to batter the region, with heavy snow and strong wind gusts.

Mayor Barbara Smyth declared a snow emergency over the weekend that began Sunday at 8 a.m., according to the city's Facebook page.
